Sandvik Coromant aren’t just a tooling company, and IMTS 2026 is where they’re proving it.
Come with a manufacturing challenge, leave with a solution. That’s the Sandvik Coromant promise for this year’s show – and after the buzz they created in 2024, they’re doubling down on everything that worked! Arthur Field of MTDCNC sits down with Victoria and Jeremy of Sandvik Coromant to go behind the scenes of one of manufacturing’s biggest trade show presences, from twenty-four months of planning and live customer component displays to one-on-one meetings with engineering experts and brand-new digital experiences inside the booth. What’s it like to have Sandvik Coromant be your partner in manufacturing? IMTS 2026 is where that
Forging has been around for centuries, and it still matters more than ever.
Since 1919, Clifford Jacobs Forging has been shaping steel into parts that keep the world moving – from Apache helicopters and F-18 components to elevator axles and mining equipment. In today’s MTDCNC Podcast, our guest Lori Brown of IMT Corporation breaks down what forging really is, why it still outperforms casting in critical applications, and how AI, simulation, and smarter furnace controls are modernising one of manufacturing’s oldest trades.

The engineering podcast that engineers actually asked for!
From saw doctors to applications engineers, MTDCNC’s Tom Skubala and Chloe Reeve have lived the shop floor life – and now they’re talking about it. The debut episode of Tools Down covers everything from crashed machines and mindset to whether manufacturing really has a skills gap or just a serious image problem. Raw, honest, and refreshingly unfiltered – this is the podcast built by engineers, for engineers. Tune in to hear some interesting details about scrapped aerospace parts, tools dunked in tea, and the man the press once called mad for building the Eiffel Tower.
Why is workholding always an afterthought – if the machine never touches the part?
Invest a million dollars in a machine tool, forget about the chuck – and you’ve already compromised everything. In today’s MTDCNC podcast, Hainbuch’s Jarred breaks down why workholding is the most overlooked variable on the shop floor and how getting it right saves time, money, and scrap. From the IQ Chuck measuring diameter, RPM, and part temperature live inside the chuck, to the CentroteX AC system performing complete chuck changeovers lights out without an operator – there’s a reason one customer was able to take thirteen operators off a single cell. Join the conversation and find out why workholding isn’t
